Life is simple. Everything happens for you, not to you. Everything happens at exactly the right moment, neither too soon nor too late. You don't have to like it... it's just easier if you do.

Stress is an alarm clock that lets you know you're attached to something not true for you.

Peace doesn't require two people; it requires only one. It has to be you. The problem begins and ends there.

Fear has only two causes: the thought of losing what you have or the thought of not getting what you want.

If you want real control, drop the illusion of control; let life have you. It does anyway. You’re just telling yourself the story of how it doesn’t.

It's almost therapeutic driving there and driving back (to North Carolina), with the time you get to think about things as well as create checklists.

I needed to turn off the negative voice in my head - I was psyching myself out.

Mexico is only a memory of childhood safety.

I am no more lonely than the loon on the pond that laughs so loud.
